Increasing number of animals and plants are dying out, but little has been done to prevent. This problem has given rise to great public concern now. In this essay, I’ll analyse some possible causes of this phenomenon and then propose some solutions.

Firstly, some people think it is waste of resource to prevent animals and plants. They suggest that the money should be better spent on human population. They want take more space and totally ignore the animals’ and the plants’. Secondly, human being is selfish and greedy, some people cannot resist the temptation of wearing the fur coat or eating the delicious food, (such as shark’s fin, wild animals etc.) though they have been aware of this problem for a long time.

Based on the above analysis, I think there are some ways to deal with the problem. To start with, the sense of protection animals and plants should be enhanced. To let people know that the disappearance of animals and plants will result in serious threat to the balance of ecosystem. It is hard to imagine what our world would be like without animals and plants. Next, a healthy lifestyle should be advocated, like healthy diet, simple life, get alone well with natures. Finally the most important thing is to lay down the low to punish those who kill animals or cut plants without permission strictly.

In summary, to protect animals and plants is to protect our living environment. Every individual should participate in doing something to preserve animals and plants from dying out.

...Know who to call to report animal cruelty. We're lucky here at the ASPCA in New York City because we have Humane Law Enforcement Agents who have the power to investigate and arrest perpetrators of animal cruelty in the state of New York. But every state and every town are different. In some areas, you may have to rely on the police department to investigate animal cruelty; in others, you may have to contact local animal control or another municipal agency. If you aren't sure where to report cruelty, please visit our Report Animal Cruelty section.
2. Get to know and look out for the animals in your neighborhood. By being aware, you're more likely to notice, for example, that the dog next door who was once hefty has lost weight rapidly—a possible indicator of abuse.
3. Make the call. Without phone calls from concerned citizens who report cruelty in their neighborhoods, we wouldn't know about most instances of animal abuse. It all comes from the public, it all starts with YOU—that's why it's so important to keep your eyes and ears open.
4. Provide as much as information as possible when reporting animal cruelty. The details that you provide can go a long way toward assisting an investigating officer. It helps to write down the type of cruelty you witnessed, who was involved, the date of the incident and where it took...

...genetic engineering is currently standing, whether one is fore or against genetic engineering. In the old days animals went on with their lives breeding and reproducing in a manner that was unknown to civilization. However, through the years science and technology has surpassed the ways of the old, even though the rest of the world was not willing to move on with the change. It all first all started with the concept of selective breeding, which is still done today by arranging animals to breed together to enhance and increase genetic make-up ("Genetic Engineering" 1 of 2). Today we can use plants to produce and grow the way producers wish. Scientist have now been able to genetically alter plants to be resistant against pests and withstand harsh weather conditions like the one we presently had this past summer. They have also been able to produce animals that are faster maturing with safer productive meat for less money (Virtual High School 1of 2).
Today producers have the ability to produce higher yields in crops to not only earn a higher additional amount of money, but to also produce more for customers that live in and outside the U.S. and why shouldn't they? Americans have the knowledge and technology to advance the world in the area of genetics. Not only should producers optimize their quality and quantity of yields, in crops, and cutability, in animals, but scientists and...

Dr.Simon
Cytochemistry: Animal and Plant Tissues
Lab Performed: October 4th, 2011
Lab Submitted: November 16th, 2011
Day in and day out; Scientist worldwide work closely with various cells to study their functions, their components, and their complex structures. In Bio 202 one way we’ve learned to examine a cell is by taking advantage of the differences within the chemical reactivity of the molecules located within (Lab Manual, Chp. 5). Major biological molecules such as Polysaccharides, lipids, nucleic acids and proteins can be detected with in cells by a technique known as Cytochemistry. Cytochemistry is the practice of fixing, staining, and examining cells (Lab Manual, Chp. 5).
Cytochemistry is an in situ experiment, meaning that any work performed is done on a normal, intact cell. The practice of fixing is important because it prevents the loss of components from their locations, likewise staining is equally important because it helps us to easily identify components in a cell by increasing the contrast between the different molecules. Overall, Cytochemistry reveals the presence of specific molecules, their distribution within the cell, also its form and structure (Lab Manual, Chp. 5).
So the questions we begin to ask sounded like, What stains reveal specific molecules in plants?, Which stains show the molecules distribution within the cell in animals?,...

...Title: To examine an animal and cheek cell using a compound microscope
Date: 25th September 2012
Lab Partner: xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Objective:
The main aim of this experiment was to prepare a wet mount of human cheek cells and a wet mount of plant cells and examine them both under a compound microscope.
Introduction:
Cells are the basic units of life which make up every structure in the human body. They are the smallest units which are living. All cells contain different organelles which carry out different functions. Plant and animals vary slightly. Plant cells consist of a nucleus, chloroplasts, cell wall, cell membrane a large vacuole and cytoplasm. Animal cells however do not have chloroplasts a cell wall or a large vacuole instead they have mitochondria and small vacuoles located throughout the cell. All cells require energy to work plants get this energy from chloroplasts while animals get it from the mitochondria. Both plants and humans are multi-cellular i.e. they contain more than one cell. Bacteria or amoeba are examples of unicellular organisms. Every cell contains a nucleus this is the control centre of the cell.
Materials:
• Microscopes
• Slides
• Coverslips
• Swabs

Animals and Plants Extinctions
causes and effects on human
Nowadays , animal extinction is a broad issue, one that involves the habitats and environments where other species live and interact with one another . Only a minority of people are concerned with extinction in today痴 society, while others might argue that it is a small problem because we are beyond the point of evolution and thus don't really need to rely on otheranimals at all. According to statistics of scientific research,extinction is an important issue world wide. The three main things that this essay will highlight are the causes of extinction, how it effects humans and the solution.
Extinction means to be wiped out and completely destroyed. To become extinct is to be gone forever. Extinction can cause by many various ways. Firstly extinctions could cause by natural disaster such as climate change , global warming , asteriod impact. There are one example of natural massive extinction happended in 66 million years ago during the cretaseous period, the dinosaur become extinct by a natural disaster such as a comet hitting the earth or a gigantic vocano errupting. However most extinction in the pass decades aren't natural, based on the last century's recorded extinctions, the current rate of extinction is 100 times the background rate. Humanity's impact on the earth has increased extinction rates ; for instance,...

Comparing Plant and Animal Cells
Abstract
The purpose of our lab was to have a better understanding of what are the differences between animal cells and plant cells. Although the cell is the basic unit in both living beings they are not completely alike. For that I have examined and compared human cheek cells to Elodea leaf cells. First, I’ve scraped the inside of my cheek with the end of a swab stick to collect the cells then I’ve prepared them on a clean glass slide. When everything was set up I’ve observed the specimen at low, medium and high magnification, drawing a diagram for the high magnification one. Afterwards I’ve arranged the slide with the piece of Elodea leaf on the microscope stage and observed the cells in it at low and high magnification, drawing a diagram for both of them. At the end I have taken in consideration all my observation and come to the conclusion that, indeed, cells are existent in both living beings but their not completely alike.
Background
To be able to complete this lab a person should know the animal cell and the plant cell structure to the able to identify and label the cell components. Knowing the components of a microscope and how to handle it is needed as well otherwise the person would not be able to achieve their wanted results and accidents might happen that that lead to breaking the...

...Transgenic Animals and Plants
What is a transgenic animal/plant?
A transgenic animal or plant is one that has a foreign gene (called a "transgene") inserted into its DNA. Transgenic animals and plants are sometimes called "genetically modified organisms" or GMO's for short.
What is a transgene?
A transgene is the foreign gene that has been moved from one organism into a new organism by genetic engineering. For example, a bacterial gene that is inserted into a plant's DNA would be a transgene.
What is the difference between traditional plant and animal breeding and transgenic technology?
In traditional plant or animal breeding, a plant or animal with a desired trait is mated with an existing plant or animal, to transfer the desired trait to the offspring. Of course, the only genes that are involved are the genes already present in the parental plants or animals. For example, if you mate rabbits, the only genes that you can expect to find in the baby rabbits are rabbit genes, which came from a rabbit egg and a rabbit sperm.
In transgenic technology, by contrast, a single gene from one organism, say a camel, could be inserted (by injection) into fertilized rabbit...
